Replacing Your I-20 or DS 2019

Your PDSO and DSO can issue a replacement I-20 or DS-2019 if yours is lost, damaged, or stolen. Reprinted I-20s and DS-2019s are tracked in SEVIS by the Department of Homeland Security, so you should request a replacement only if your I-20 or DS-2019 has been lost, stolen, or damaged.
International Student support staff will not print replacement documents for the purpose of travel only.

Procedure for Requesting a Replacement I-20/DS-2019

1. To replace a lost, stolen, or damaged I-20 or DS-2019, request a replacement from the International Student support staff.
2. You will receive an email from either the duffyal@easternct.edu email or delisar@easternct.edu, when your document is ready for pick up.
The new replacement document will be your official I-20 or DS-2019. It will not have a stamp on the front page because that stamp can only be issued by an immigration official. The next time you travel into the U.S. a Customs and Border Protection Officer will stamp your I-20 or DS-2019, notating your F-1 or J-1 admission.

Procedure for Requesting a New Passport or I-94 Card

• Passport replacement: contact your country's consulate. Please note they may require a police report if your passport was stolen.
• I-94 card replacement: if you entered the U.S. on or after April 30, 2011, you can print your I-94 record at CBP.gov/I94. If your last entry to the U.S. was prior to April 30, 2011, contact International Student support staff for more information.
• If any of your documents were stolen, you should report the theft to the local police and obtain a copy of the police report.
